Re: Married and Cooking....
Basically it’s not about cooking only. The thing is us (desi guys) don’t help out in other household work either. Only if we can learn to help out the females (be it mother, sister or wife) at home, I am sure that females will not mind cooking. It’s only when they have to cook with cleaning, laundry, pressing, dish washing and kids that gets on their nerves.
I have few friends who don’t even pickup their plates after finishing the food let alone washing it or cooking the food. Bhabi’s do all the work. I bet if we can learn to do these little things it will change the home climate a lot. I try to help my wife in household work (cooking, dish washing, vacuum etc) and in return she don’t mind if I ask her once in a blue moon to wash the car, do the grocery or press my cloths etc.
To some extent blame goes to females too. I still hear many mothers asking their daughters “ja beta bhai ko khana garam ker dai thaka howa aaya hai” without considering that daughter just came from college/university/work too.
